Eliminate 1 prior to the introduction of universal suffrage in 1915 and 1 after. Zahle can count as both.

My votes:

Before 1915: I. C. Christensen (for allowing his minister of justice P. A. Alberti to swindle more than 200 mio. Euros in todays money from a farmers savings bank. Should have known what the fat bastard was up to!)

After 1915: Anders Fogh Rasmussen for getting us into the Iraq war under false pretences and for allying his Liberal party with the bigots in the Danish Peoples Party.

Yeah, I saw that, but temporary votes doesn't work that well in survivor. You need the game to move relatively quickly - especially in the early stage, where its basically about getting rid of dead wood. His choices where pretty consistent (two warmongers and a non-elected interim figure), and I have had no objections from Kal.

Four Danish premiers can qualify as badasses. Eliminate one badass and make another immune for 3 rounds.

Jens Otto Krag: Ladykiller with (well deserved) playboy image who built the foundation of the welfare state, while nailing an enormous amount of women - sometimes during state dinners - and married moviestar Helle Virkner.

Viggo Kampmann: Brilliant economist who was manio-depressive. Often toured the pubs of Copenhagen for days without telling his staff, but still managed to rule the country for two years.

Bishop D. G. Monrad: Maniodepressive rhetorical genius and radical nationalist who stubbornly refused to surrender or compromise in the war of 1864 against Prussia and Austria. Left the country afterwards to become a pioneer in the wilderness of New Zealand.

J. B. S. Estrup: Ruled Denmark for 19 years using provisional budgets and ignoring the parliaments democratically elected second chamber. Created his own private paramilitary mounted gendarmerie. Survived an assassination attempt, where the assailant fired on his coat button, but Estrup kept his cool and just kept walking on his way home. (which is his main claim to being a badass)

1849-1863. Age of Democracy and nationalismDenmark has Europes most democratic constitution with universal male suffrage and a few liberal reforms get implemented. The academics in the National Liberals are the dominant party. Most of the time nothing is accomplished because all energy is focused on creating a common constitution for democratic Denmark and the absolutist duchies of Holstein (German) and Slesvig/Schleswich/Sleswick (take your pick) with both Danish and German population. Everything is extremely complicated. The Liberals try to find a way to kick those pesky Germans in Holstein out of the realm without loosing Sleswick, while the Conservatives try to keep it all together (and hopefully eliminate most of the democratic reforms in the process). None of the PMs are really any good. But the Leftists Andræ and Rottwitt at least tries to do something meaningful. A. W. Moltke is chosen because he is affable and the richest man in the country, but presides over a government, that does steer the country through the 1. Sleswick War (1848-51) without too much trouble.

I wanna eliminate P. G. Bang for being a mere figurehead in a government torn between Leftists and National Liberals and legal scholar extraordinaire and failed politician A. S. Ørsted for being ridiculously reactionary. Leftists Andræ and Rottwitt where inefficient too, and I vote to eliminate Rottwitt just for being a short termer with zero results.

1865-1894. Conservative backlashThe Conservative squires take power after the disastrous defeat in 1864 and creates a reactionary constitution in 1866. The National Liberals go into hiding or join the Cons. In the beginning the peasants just accept the new regime, but soon leftists creates a peasant movement with auxiliary rifle corps and unites in Venstre "The Left" in 1870. Hardman Estrup doesn't give a flying fock, rules by issuing provisional budgets, creates a political police and throws a few hotheads into jail. In the mid 1880s civil war is not unrealistic, but at some point moderates on both sides decides to make one of those boring Danish compromises instead.

I vote to eliminate Fonnesbech, a nice guy who tried to compromise i an era of hardliners and failed miserably.

1894-1901. Waiting for someone to tell the King...After the leaders of the Liberals and the Conservatives have agreed to stop ignoring parliament everything comes to a halt for 7 years. Nobody dares to tell the king, he has to appoint a peasant or a village school teacher as head of government, so the Conservatives just hang on to power while trying to get along with the Liberals in "The Left". Baron Reedtz-Thott makes it work for a while, but are ousted by hardliners in his own party.

I vote to eliminate Hørring for ruining most of the progress of Reedtz-Thott to no good for his own party and Sehested for being an interim figure.

Yeah, after four years of being a non-disruptive poster on the forum, never considered a troublemaker, even someone who was liked well enough to be elected Atlasian President, Napoleon should be allowed to stay.

Anker Jørgensen 3 (very likeable working class guy with a big heart, but for almost bankrupting Denmark and letting the unions boss him around. On the positive side he did have the guts to support Israel against the Arabs, but that could also be considered kind of a dumb move under the Oil Crisis. Too naive to be PM.)

Anders Fogh Rasmussen 2For lying about the Iraq war and allying his Liberal Party with the bigots in the Danish Peoples Party.

Madsen-Mygdal 1Diehard dogmatic Classical Liberal that alienated everybody, including his Conservative allies, with his arrogance and stubbornness. Unable to offer any solutions to the economic crisis after the crash on Wall Street. Paved the way for the Social Democrats to rule Denmark for a looong time.

We still have some dead wood: Fonnesbech, Bluhme etc. But that can wait.

Yeah I like Fonnesbechs beard too.A little curious: Nyrup was a pretty succesful PM - both on economic growth, welfare reform and influence in the EU. Did you just pick him for looking geeky? Being named Rasmussen? Or some other reason?
